No, this is the cheaper version of the K-106 with 5 fixed modes. Assuming it's the same as the Trustfire F20, which I own, it's actually a very nice light by its own rights though.
No no no Akoray K106 and TrustFire F20 are not the same flashlight.
Externally the body is exact the same, only changing the logo of the manufacturer.
The LED and the DRIVER are different. Specially the DRIVER. On the F20, PWM can not be seen. On Akoray 106 pwm CAN be seen, and the light output of the K106 is less than F20
Also the Akoray k106 has more failure rates than F20
In DX today there is another light with this body - and it is only $13.40

It says 3 mode so this one might just be the programmable driver from the K-106. It is also pink.
Very pink!
Anyone secure enough in his masculinity to get one and find out?

It would look very sexy on you Don! 
Aside from the pinkness, there is one obvious design change in the pink Aurora that could be problematic. Notice how the rubber button boot is much bigger than the small, recessed one in the original K-106 and its clones. Unfortunately, these bigger buttons, which appear to be made to sit just a mm short of flush to the rim of the tailcap, are subject to loose tolerance variations and many of them end up protruding slightly, thus preventing the light from tailstanding. In fact the switch looks almost identical to the one on my Ultrafire C3 SS model. Most C3 SS samples tailstand according to most reviews, but mine suffers from this variation and doesn't tailstand well due to about 1mm of protrusion.
I just ordered one to give to my sister when I’ll go visiting her next month. I just hope it will arrive in time, otherwise I’ll be stuck with it for a few months.

Hello all.
The akoray is the light that proved to me that "serious budget lights" exist. Apart from the technical issues (an AA with programmable variable output is AWSOME) the light is very useful and the three I bought (two of them over a year old and all 3 running all the time on 14500) are working perfectly. There are several minor changes from light to light (tint, time it takes to change mode, time it takes to memorize mode, ramping speed) but all of them are very nice.
Word of advice - I ordered the fouth one at kaidomain (I have already given two as gifts) and the order was refunded 10 days ago. Has anyone received a "real" Akoray 106 recently?
Thanks,
Roberto.
Uh-oh. That's not good. Nuts, they were our last source of this excellent light.
I have one coming, should be here next week hopefully. Tracking says its in the US anyway.
I'll post if it is indeed still the same light. Same price and description so hopefully I didnt pay 20 bucks for a nonprogrammable one!
Yep, it's still the programmable light! Looks exacting the same as in the reviews, square anodized threads and all. It took 25 days to me. I really like this light and its brighter than I was expecting on a nimh AA. The programming took a little to get use to but now I have it down pretty good. One thing I was doing was half clicking after setting the 3rd mode when you need to just completely turn it off after setting the 3rd mode.
Great! This is good news that it's still available. Would you be so kind as to post a direct link to the product you bought? Thanks!
I've been meaning to buy one for a very long time. I'll buy two if I know its the right one!
Link to the product please!!!!

I think its actually the only one they carry. The description says 3.7 to 4.2 volts and only lists the battery as 14500 but the light says .7 to 4.5 volts right on it and you can even see it in their pics of it.

They also have it in a kit with two 14500 batteries, charger and case for 14 more bucks. I passed on that and just got the light by itself.
Two ordered. :)
I'm getting into RCR123 torches now and I think I'm about to order the programable K109A from KD.

They also have this one that's programable and takes multiple battery types. Although it is sold out right now, hopefully not forever!

Yeah , have the Ak-16 , great light , AA-14500 , RCR123A
Got my two K-106s today. (3/13 to 3/29 - not bad) I'm quite impressed. The tint is less than ideal, but the quality is outstanding.
The one thing I have noticed, that I haven't seen mentioned before, is that my two examples appear to have EZ900 die XR-Es, so they have a hotspot that is quite small.
I dont know what mine has in it but it has alot more flood to it than my XPG does. One thing I have noticed is if I turn the li-ion protection on it sometimes dims slightly when going to my 2nd mode and other times it comes on in 2nd mode and then goes right back off. It works fine on the 3rd mode which I have set as high. Works fine with protection off.
